Reports by IAG Grant Holders – RCG 2025 and Intensive Course for Young Geomorphologists (Timișoara, Romania, 16-18 September 2025)

The IAG Grant Holders, invited on stage with the IAG Executive Committee.

The Regional Conference on Geomorphology 2025 took place in Timișoara (Romania) on 16-18 September 2025. The conference was preceded by the 4th IAG-EGU Intensive Course for Young Geomorphologists, with the theme “Geomorphic services for environmental change understanding: from field surveying to dynamic and systemic risks evaluation”.
The IAG offered grants to 10 Young Geomorphologists to help them attending the conference and the Intensive Course. Congratulations to them!

During the Intensive Course, Grant Holders were trained in a wide range of techniques: field mapping of geomorphological features, UAV-based and LiDAR remote sensing, geophysical surveys, and sampling for dendrogeomorphology. They describe “extremely enriching experiences“, an “exceptionnel” Intensive Course, and an “outstanding organising team“. The conference also “fully met [their] expectations“: it allowed Grant Holders to share their research, as posters or orals, but also to meet leading international experts and to build connections with other Young Geomorphologists. Overall, Grant Holders express their deep thanks to the organising team, and to the IAG for allowing them to participate in such a great event.
